Mr. Lockhart thought the committee had virtually been appointed as a general committee, as he maintained that a sub-committee could only consist of members of a general committee, and this committed was appointed quite apart from the Cricket Committee. He desired to know what the powers of the committee were.
The Chairman said the committee intended to carry out the wishes of the lawn teanis members -arrange matches, handicaps, tournaments, &c, and fix matters so that cricket and lawn tennis did not clash.

Mr. Aubert thought it was not a very desimaht and coal sufficient to take vessel to nearest panpany in India: The proposal is that the French position that the lawn tennis committee stood in, their views being subject to the overruling of the general committee.
Mr. Lockhart coincided with the last speaker saying that none doubted that the desire was to
make things as pleasant as possible, but he felt
-sure that the old bickerings would continue under the present arrangement.
Mr. Aubert remarked that the committee was simply a mouthpiece of the lawn tonnis players, Mr. Foss wished to know what would be done in the event of the lawn tennis players desiring to play when a cricket match was on,
Mr. Aubert replied that this was not at all likely, but in the event of it occurring the matter could be rectified by legislation.
Mr. Foss did not concur with the last speaker's views, saying that the matter had better there and then be dealt with as the management could not be left in the hands of two distinct bodies..
Mr. Aubert expressed it as his opinion that the sub-committee was in that case of no use at all and that it were better to have the interests of lawn tennis looked after by two members of the cricket committee.-

CORRUPT OFFICIALS.
TO THE EDITOR or tux ! HoNGKONG TELEGRAFI,”
SIR,On behalf of many of my friends and of my own self, permit me to express our approba don and thanks for the expressions contained-in your leader of the 24th ultimo, made, as you state, for the public benefit.
I feel it my duty to splicit space in your columns so that I may inform you and your readers how guvernment servants are receiving "cumshaws" or bribes from the public, and I particularly refer to the police and interpreters of the courts.
The Treh Fhd gambling continues to prevail in the colony worse and worse, and is increasing day by day with fearful räpidity.

Corps. And as they will not be enlisted for service in any particular colony or dependency, they will be liable to be sent to any point where their services may be required. In order to induce men to enlist, a bounty of £24 sterling is to be offered to each recruit, and the pay is to be considerably higher than the pay now received by troops of the line or by the marines. It is estimated that the cost of the re- organisation will not exceed to millions of francs, ve 400,00, but the estimate is likely to be is right in principic, if France has de- very largely exceeded. The scheme, no doubt, finitively adopted a policy of colonial ex- pansion. To realise such a policy she must have a military force always ready to be aent beyond sea; and she can obtain such force only by some such plan as that now pro- posed. But the force will obviously be numeri cally too weak except for a really little war. If, China on account of Tonkin, the proposed ad- for example, hostilities were to break out with dition to the marines would not provide an army- sufficient to cope with the masses of men that once the new force is organised, it will admit of China could hurl against Tonkin. But, of course, being increased to any numbers that may be re- quired. And in any case it can be reinforced largely by native levies.

Mr. G. S. Coxon said he would like to make
a suggestion. He was glad to see the Naval Officers of the station on the ground, but at the same time he thought that after a certain hour of the day there should be some courts reserved to the local members who were in an office all day.

The short experience of France has already brought to light a serious defect in the system of universal obligatory military service so widely copied from Prussia. The advantages system, when only one belligerent had adopted it, were strikingly proved in the wars between Prus- - sin and'Austria, and Prussia and France; but it remains to be seen how it will work under the al- tered conditions prevailing henceforward. In any case whatever may be the advantages of the system in a war between two countries divided from one another only by an imaginary line, it does not answer where it is necessary to send a force THE Steamship beyond sea.
